Gem development in a rail application

Question

I am working on a gem that I would like to complete in a Rails project (3). A gem built with a jeweler.

The gem works, but has quite a few rough edges and TODO. I have (some) tests, and they all pass. I want to work on this a bit by executing it in a Rails project.

Which workflow should be used? Are there assemblers, jewelers or rakes for this kind of workflow? Or should I put the "source" (unbuild gem) somewhere in my rails application and Rails select it magically? Are there any other tricks or projects to look at?

- Rails Gemfile:

gem 'yourgem', :path => "~/Workspace/yourgem"

~/Workspace/yourgem , .
